Homage’s Transportation Assistance Program (TAP)
Millions of Americans face barriers to accessing medical treatment, mental health care, community services, and necessities, such as the supermarket or pharmacies. For the elderly and people with disabilities, affordable and reliable transportation is a significant challenge, particularly in rural communities.
In Snohomish County, WA, Homage is the largest provider of services for older adults and individuals with disabilities, serving over 25,000 individuals annually. At Homage, we recognize the critical need for affordable, convenient transportation services accessible to all.
